Join a four-day residential Thaypassana retreat with Janice Cittasubha Sheppard and David Haskin at the beautiful Siena Retreat Center in Racine, WI, September 18-21, 2025.

The “Thaypassana” meditation retreat draws upon the wisdom teachings of both Thich Nhat Hanh and the Insight practices of Theravada Buddhism. These few days of silence will create a supportive environment using sitting, walking, and standing meditation, mindful movement, and mindful eating. The retreat will encourage and support a turning inward and a direct experience of body, heart, and mind moment by moment. It will have Dharma reflections, small group interviews, large group question and response sessions, and some one-on-one sessions.

The retreat will be conducted in Noble Silence except during Q&A or interview groups.

Fees include all meals (Friday breakfast through Sunday lunch), lodging, private baths, towels, and the meeting rooms. (Thursday dinner is on your own.) Coffee and tea are available throughout the weekend.

The retreat will begin on Thursday at 7 pm and conclude at 3 PM on Sunday.
